Line 52:

* [[Broken Bird]]: The [[Trope Namer]]. Has gotten un-broken lately, thanks to Largo, of all people.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She has her moments.

* [[Hates the Job, Loves ~~The~~ Limelight]]: Retired

* [[Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight]]: Retired

* [[Kuudere]] & [[Tsundere]]: In many ways, she has been moving from being something of a [[Broken Bird]] to dithering between being both [[Kuudere]] & [[Tsundere]] depending on the day. She is neither completely cold and is too playful to be a permanent [[Kuudere]] (whom leans towards [[Deadpan Snarker|cynicism]]) while she tempers her rage more than most [[Tsundere]] (whom happens to also be a type A) characters. In either mood of the day, only Kimiko and (surprisingly) Largo can pull out full compassion or tears from her.

* [[The Tease]]: If there is one character that is this, it's Erika. But only among the other megagamers (Kimiko is a frequent victim).

Line 65:

* [[Moe]]: Sometimes, [http://megatokyo.com/strip/813 though not everyone's happy about it.]

* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]

* [[Wide Eyed Idealist]]

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]

=== Ping ===

A prototype of the Emotional Doll System, a [[PS 2]] app that uses a [[Robot Girl]] for [[Dating Sim]] games, Ping was left with Piro and Largo by Tsubasa, her owner. As you might expect, she's somewhat naive, but has a good heart and is very enthusiastic.

Line 216:

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Kobayashi seems pretty surprised by Yuki's superpowers.

* [[Pair the Spares]]: Kobayashi only became important to the storyline (and, in fact, appeared at all), when Yuki stopped being a real viable choice in Piro.

* [[Stalker ~~With~~ a Crush]]: It hasn't really been portrayed either positively or negatively yet, though. In fact, the only word someone used to describe it was "pathetic."

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: It hasn't really been portrayed either positively or negatively yet, though. In fact, the only word someone used to describe it was "pathetic."

* [[Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex|Woman of Steel, Man of Kleenex]]: One of the few times where this trope is reversed. as well as non-sexual.
